Free smart link management
Smart links that tell the full story
Easy to manage smart links that show you where your traffic is coming from
Use LinkShrink to track clicks
Create a smart link
Paste a URL and get a clean short link immediately.
Why create an account?
Short links are only the start.
A free LinkShrink account turns every link into something you can manage, track and improve. Use it for client work, social posts, campaigns, QR codes, printed material and anything else where you need to know what happened after someone clicked.
Track clicks
Know when a link is being clicked
See totals, today, this week and the last 30 days from your dashboard. Track human clicks separately from bot activity and spot when a link is actually being used.
Analytics
See where your traffic comes from
Understand devices, browsers, operating systems, countries and referral sources. Useful enough to make decisions, without turning the product into an analytics maze.
Editable links
Change the destination URL any time
Sent the link already? No problem. Update the destination later without changing the short link you gave people.
QR codes
Generate QR codes from your smart links
Create QR codes for printed flyers, menus, posters, packaging or business cards. Download them when you need them and keep the destination manageable afterwards.
Control
Password protect, expire or disable links
Add a password, set an expiry date, limit the number of clicks, or disable a link when it should no longer work.
Notifications
Get email notifications when links are clicked
Enable alerts on important links and get a notification when activity happens, with sensible rate limiting so your inbox does not get hammered.
Organisation
Group links by project, client or campaign
Keep saved links tidy with coloured groups, search filters and clear status labels so your dashboard stays useful as your list grows.
Free to use
Start with one link. Create an account when you want the full story.
Guest links are quick. A free account gives you tracking, editing, QR codes, groups, passwords, expiry controls and notifications.
